Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

The Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus account for a substantial fraction
of marine primary production. Here, we present quantitative niche models for these lineages …

Picocyanobacteria represented by Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus have an important
role in oceanic carbon fixation and nutrient cycling. In this study, we compared the …

The importance of biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning across trophic levels,
especially via predatory–prey interactions, is receiving increased recognition. However, this …

Synechococcus spp. constitute a major and ubiquitous component of marine ecosystems.
The genome of one strain of this genus, WH8102, has recently been completely sequenced …

Seasonal patterns in the partitioning of phytoplankton carbon during receding sea ice
conditions in the eastern Bering Sea water column are presented using rates of 14C net …

Standard and imaging flow cytometry were used to examine the composition of
phytoplankton assemblages in and around a massive under-ice bloom in the Chukchi Sea …

Patterns of spatial distribution of small-sized phytoplankton: coccoid cyanobacteria
(Synechococcus, SYN) and small photosynthetic eukaryotes (PEUK) were investigated in …

The subarctic Pacific is generally perceived as relatively homogeneous since the North
Pacific Subpolar Gyre dominates the water circulation in the area. However, previous …

Dynamics of picophytoplankton population distribution in the East China Sea (ECS), a
marginal sea in the western North Pacific Ocean, were studied during two cruises in August …
